Hey guys
Having read through most of this thread, I've decided to post a quick message to say hi, as I'm planning on applying for the Wings scheme within the next year or so. I'm currently serving in the RAF as an Aircraft Engineer (Airframes/Engines) and have begun my PPL through the local flying club to give me a headstart and ensure I do actually have an ability to fly before commencing the route to my dream career.
I don't leave the RAF until October 2009, however it would make sense to me to apply when I have around 6 months or so remaining in case I have to resit any parts, or if I fail the selection completely it'll give me a chance to re-evaluate things...
Lots of very useful information on this thread, and I'm sure I'll see some of you in the future during the selection phase...
Cheers guys
Martin
